The surging Knicks seek revenge against the sharpshooting Celtics in a battle for Eastern Conference supremacy
Buckle up for a heavyweight showdown at Madison Square Garden as the surging Knicks (34-17) look to close the gap on the second-place Celtics (36-16).

The Celtics’ potent three-point attack (17.7 makes per game) will test the Knicks’ defense. Can the Knicks exact revenge for their opening night loss and make a statement and convince the league that they are truly contenders?
